Abstrakt: Purpose: The anti-inflammatory environment of glioma reduces the efficacy of immunotherapies. Therefore, it is vital to transform the immunosuppressive microenvironment of glioma into a pro-inflammatory environment. Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-type lectins (Siglecs) can serve as immune checkpoint targets that enhance the anti-tumor immune response. However, the roles of Siglecs in the glioma microenvironment are unknown. This study was conducted to identify targets to inhibit the anti-inflammatory environment to improve therapeutic outcomes in patients with glioma.
Methods: We analyzed the regulatory effect of prognosis-related Siglecs identified from data available in The Cancer Genome Atlas database (TCGA) and China Glioma Genome Atlas Data portal on the immunosuppressive microenvironment of glioma. The effects of prognosis-related Siglecs on the glioma microenvironment were investigated by determining the Pearson correlation coefficients of the Siglecs in transcriptome data from the TCGA database.
Results: Siglec-1, -9, -10, and -14 were closely associated with the prognosis of patients with glioma. The expression of these four Siglecs was significantly increased in the high-risk group and positively correlated with anti-inflammatory cytokine levels in the glioma microenvironment.
Conclusion: Our study provides insights into the effects of prognosis-related Siglecs in glioma immunotherapy, suggesting that targeted prognosis-related Siglecs can modify the microenvironment of glioma and improve the sensitivity of patients with glioma to immunotherapy.
